Ebro Darden, one of the people who set up the July 22nd show where Lil Wayne was arrested (and is sending him to jail today), says he urged Weezy and his entourage to not travel to the venue in their tour bus. "They decided they wanted to drive their tour buses through Manhattan because they didn't want to ride in regular cars that day," Darden recalled. "I suggested against it, but obviously [he's] the type of person that likes to be in an environment he's comfortable in. That's where he lives a lot. He spends a lot of time on that tour bus. Leaving that tour bus in one place and jumping in the car and going to another place was uncomfortable. So we parked the tour buses outside [the theater]."
"My reaction to the actual incident at first was, 'Damn. Didn't he know he was in New York? 'Cause they don't play that,' Darden continued. "I didn't know the particulars — if the gun was his, if the gun was in somebody else's bag, if it was in his bag. I just knew that somebody I like as an artist got caught up in something, same way a lot of artists that we love in hip-hop have got caught up in having possession of firearms in New York. [New York authorities] don't play, especially if you are coming through New York and are an out-of-towner coming from somewhere you can actually carry a firearm, the odds are high that they're gonna catch you with one to be able to make a an example out of you. You're gonna get caught up." -props to MTV
